Ebooks: Ereader or phone? (lemmy.world)

Just wondering how people read ebooks.

Do you have a dedicated Ereader device such as a kindle or Kobo, or do you use an ebook reader app on your phone?

I have Kobo Clara BW but I find my phone is more convenient. I do the majority of my reading on my iPhone using the Kobo app.

However if I’m flying out on a long train journey, I tend to bring my Kobo, mainly because of the much better battery life and bigger screen (with better reading ergonomics).

I do most of the reading on my quite old Kindle Paperwhite.

When Amazon changed the rules about downloading your own ebooks, I installed KOReader on it.

Love the customisability I get, and integration with Calibre. I now sync my library and progress with my phone (where I also have KOReader installed) using Syncthing.

I've also switched from Goodreads to Hardcover (there is a KOReader plugin for it).

I prefer to read on the Kindle because it has 0 distractions and it's easier on the eyes.
